A Dundee man has been accused of "recklessly producing household electricity" with a bizarre home-made transformer.

Charles McKenzie is alleged to have rigged up a "dangerous transformer assembly" at his flat in Dundee's Dudhope Court to generate power.

Mr McKenzie, 55, was not at Dundee Sheriff Court to face the charge of culpable and reckless conduct.

Sheriff George Way continued the case without plea for three weeks.

Suspended generator

The charge alleges Mr McKenzie "culpably and recklessly" produced electricity "with total disregard for the safety of yourself and others".

WTF!

It looks like an apartment building. I don't care what kind of generator you've made, but hooking it up to an existing system with blatant disregard to the safety of others, this guy deserves to get fucked in the ass. In the US, you can get charged for attempted murder for doing this.

Yeah he should be charged. This guy is an idiot that thinks he knows more than he actually does. He's not monitored or regulated for safety. Next thing you know the dudes house explodes and kills people.

How can he be producing electricity when they say he built a transformer and not a generator? I don't understand. Was he capturing direct energy from the air and transforming it into alternate current?

They never said he hooked it to any existing circuits, and if he had I'm sure they would have said so ! But solar generators are made to hook up to the grid ! The law hear is they have to pay you for the power you push back into the grid ! You also must get a meter that runs backwards and forwards ! If the guy was smart enough to build a coil that produced electricity , he was probably a lot smarter than the person who charged him !!

You sir are clearly intelligent and in now way a mindless zombie slave.koodoes to you, let the world know all things shall be numbered and regulated as Allah has said.

Just Waite until we get the meters on their beds, they think healthcare is nasty.

Wow you lot are retards... ever heard of health and safety !!! If he was living in a house in the middle of nowhere fair enough but to do it in a popultaed high rise flat is completely iresponsable and fucking dangerous to other people living there.

he can his lines through his own transformer!

you an idiot if you don't understand that running it through a ratio of coils induces a magnetic field and thus creates more coltage with less current

Umm yeah..gasoline generators hooked up to high voltage transformers all suspended in the air by thin ropes.. Brilliant plan! HAHAHA! Dude could have killed everyone in the building! What a fucking moron!

"Sheriff Way asked: "I don't quite understand - how does one culpably and recklessly produce electricity?"

Fiscal depute Laura Bruce said: "The Crown's position is that he had this man-made assembly in his house suspended from the ceiling by thin ropes.

"There was a car battery and cans of petrol nearby."

Now that's funny, eccentric john hutchinson did that for many years and no one complained about his gizmos burnin down the house

Actually, Hutchinson had his equipment confiscated by the cops up here for exactly the same reasons. Don't try and run a lab in an apartment building. If you want to play mad scientist you need to be isolated enough that when you open that portal the neighbors don't get hurt.
